the pumpkins are made like the old honeycomb decorations. i made a template for half the pumpkin first from chipboard. then cut and folded 5 different papers in half, traced the pumpkin on them – with the center aligned on the fold, then cut them out. i also cut one piece just to fit the template. then the folded pieces were glued back to back, one on top of each. the extra paper half was glued to the template, and then that piece was glued on top of the stack. then, when you bring the back piece around to meet the front piece it forms a pumpkin! i punched holes in the chipboard lined piece and the last piece and tied ribbons through the holes to hold the pumpkin open. the stems were cut from kraft cardstock that i stamped first, then i inked the edges. the vines were made from border stickers adhered back to back and twisted around a small dowel. a small slit, about 1″ – 1 1/2″ was cut up the center at the bottom of each stem so it could slide on the pumpkin. since the pieces fold up, you can easily store them without damage til next year!

the napkin rings/placecard holders were really easy to make. i just folded pieces of cardstock in half to make “tents”. then cut pieces of printed paper to adhere to each side. then a hole was punched at the sides of each placecard, punching one layer at a time. then, i just decorated with more printed paper, stickers and a bit of jute.
